OFT questions newspaper takeover

The recent sale of eight Trinity Mirror titles in Berkshire to Dunfermline Press(DP) could be sent to the Competition Commission. Because it has given the Scottish company control over the only two local newspapers in the Slough, Windsor and Eton area, the OFT has asked DP to come up with undertakings which would address their concerns over a possible restriction in competition.
